You've reached the new home for spotlights on fiction by Latter-day Saint authors (previously New LDS Fiction). Please update your bookmarks and share the news! I'll leave the old site up for a few months while we transition, but all new spotlights will be found here.

The Time Key by Melanie Bateman

As Stanley got closer, he saw two figures beating on a lone man, while four others stood back to watch. “Hey!” Stanley’s voice sounded hoarse in his ears. “Leave him be!”

Shadows that move on their own, a mysterious device that looks like a pocket watch, a man on the run from monsters that exist in dreams—all are connected to Stanley because he interrupted a mugging.

Now Stanley holds the Time Key, an object that allows him to travel through time. With the extraordinary gift of being able to see both the past and the future, he may be the only one who can save his family.

But he soon learns that changing his past doesn’t necessary lead to a better future. Traveling over 100 years into the future may be the only way Stanley can change his fate and save his family.
